I keep starting over due to what I think is a mystery dropped stitch, I’m thinking somewheres over these yo’s. Any advice? I love this pattern & am starting to memorize it plus I love my yarn I’m trying (malabrigo silky merino in bosques) – so I won’t give up!

For Paige — if you can’t get the SSK down, you could also work SKP (or slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over [psso]). The two decreases have the same effect.

As far as interchangables.. I don’t have any (yet) but wanted to add, wait until you have two projects that need the same needle. Suddenly those interchangables start to look really good :)

While the k2tog leans to the right, the ssk leans to the left, and are often used together in a pattern when decreasing two sides in towards each other, like the tops of raglan sleeves.

Slip the two stiches knitwise, then knit them together? How does that work? Can someone enlighten me?

You only have to buy what you need. I had an early set of cables go bust, and like Min’s they replaced them for me for free. The second set has been trouble-free, fast, smooth and light.

They’re a little bit easier on my tendonitis-prone hands and wrists, I find the Addi Turbos to be too slippery for me. They’re a bit harder for me to track down though, all my LYS in Minneapolis seem to love stocking the Turbos in every size possible- but hardly ever the Naturas.

You can attach any length cord, and it’s the most flexible I’ve ever used. I did have one cable which wiggled it’s way loose out of the join; I emailed the company and I had a new PAIR of cables sent for free, in like 2 days! (Plus I fixed the other one with super glue so it’s all good).
The best part: the titanium finish actually lets me knit faster than when I was using bamboo. Don’t get me wrong; I love my Addi Naturas, too, just not for everything.
Sorry to blather on so much! I plan on making that scarf too, when I finish my latest pair of socks; so I can’t wait to see how yours turns out!

I’m doing the Ribby Cardi with the cotton ease, and I really dig the yarn, but am worried that I’m loving it so much because of the acrylic blend. I’ve used 100% cottons and they grab…let us know how you like the Rowan!
